Is Tuna Keto-Friendly?

It certainly is. Whether in oil or water, Canned tuna is entirely acceptable on a ketogenic diet. Tuna is sugar-free, so it won’t knock you out of ketosis. Furthermore, it contains a considerable amount of protein, which helps you feel satisfied for longer.

Is Avocado Keto-Friendly?

Yes! On the keto diet, avocados are a must-have fruit. In fact, an avocado embodies the keto diet’s ideal ratio. They have a fat content of 77% and a fiber content of 18%. 

Ingredients For This Tuna Salad Stuffed Avocado

This recipe requires only a few easy-to-find ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. Here is a list of everything you will need:

• Avocado – make sure you use a large, ripe avocado to make it easy to fill.
• Tuna – To minimize calories, use high-quality tuna packed in water.
• Greek Yogurt – you can also use mayonnaise. I chose to use Yogurt because it is a little sour and combines perfectly with the tuna.
• Celery – It adds a nice crispness and taste to the salad. If you want, you can easily replace it with red bell pepper.
• Dill Relish – will give the tuna and avocados a great, salty-sour boost. 
• Red Onion – Chop them thinly before adding them to your tuna salad–or, if they’re still too strong for you, soak them in ice water for a couple of minutes before chopping and adding them to your tuna salad.
• Lemon Juice – no recipe with tuna without some lemon juice; it completes the flavors in this recipe.
• Dill – Whether you are using fresh or dried, dill pairs perfectly with this salad.
• Garlic – garlic powder will add a great flavor to the salad.
• Salt & Pepper –to taste. But feel free to add your favorite seasoning.
• Parsley – you will need fresh chopped parsley to garnish.

How To Make This Delicious Tuna Salad Stuffed Avocado

I think this is one of the easiest recipes you’ve ever tried. Here is everything you need to do:

1. Cut the avocado in half and use your knife to take out the pit gently.
2. Spoon a good part of the fruit pulp and take it out in a bowl.
3. Prepare the tuna salad. Drain the liquid from the canned tuna first, then chop all ingredients finely. 
4. Add all the ingredients to a large mixing bowl and combine them well.
5. Once the mixture is ready, fill the avocado halves with it.

Recipe Variations

• You can add some chopped tomatoes to the salad mixture.
• Adding chopped boiled eggs to the healthy tuna salad with avocado will make it even creamier.
• You can also add some red pepper chili flakes for a spicy taste.

Storing Ideas

• Fridge: If there are any leftovers, you can store them in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

But you need to know that it’s best served immediately since the avocado will turn brown quickly. So I recommend storing it without the avocado.

Benefits Of Eating Tuna

• Potassium-rich tuna is known for its ability to decrease blood pressure.
• It improves your immunity.
• Macular degeneration is a disorder that affects the eye’s vision and eventually leads to blindness. The all-powerful Omega-3 acids found in tuna help prevent this illness.
• Tuna fish considerably impact heart health, perhaps the most well-known health benefit.
